Cynthia “Cindy” Newberry Kaufman, beloved daughter of Ken and Chloe Newberry, passed to be with them on May 27, 2022. Cindy grew up in Kirkwood, New York and graduated from Susquehanna Valley High School in 1977. She was a long-time Port Dickinson resident.

her nephew, Justin Johnston, her daughter, Jillian Kaufman and partner, Cody Vaughn, and her granddaughter, Cadance Vaughn, as well as her many “adopted” children.
